We used simple thermal coevaporation of yttrium, barium, and copper in an oxygen atmosphere to produce thin films of the 90 K superconductor, YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub delta/, on silicon, magnesium oxide, and strontium titanate. The films were deposited on 650 /sup 0/C substrates and were superconducting when removed from the evaporator. A short post-anneal at 480 /sup 0/C produced films on bare Si with transition temperatures (R = 0) of 85 K. Films as thin as 0.13 ..mu..m, superconducting at 91 K (on MgO) and 89 K (on SrTiO/sub 3/), were obtained with no post-anneal.
